Our last day in Costa Rica we decided to visit Manuel Antonio with the Hellewells. It is a national park about an hour south of where we stayed. It is along the coast so there are lots of white sand beaches. It's also the natural habitat to monkeys, sloths, coatis (a kind of raccoon-like creature) and tons of other animals. We were hoping to see at least some monkeys but no such luck! They have guides you can go with to make sure you see all the wildlife but we just did our own thing.
You follow paths through the jungle to get to the various beaches in the park.
This is Kurt looking so burdened from carrying Zeke. He was such a good baby. He hardly ever cried or made a peep.

We found this old man right as we came to the first beach just changing out of his swimsuit in the middle of the path. His wife was pretending not to notice I'm sure. They did have bathrooms about 50 feet from where he was standing. I guess that was too far to walk.
As soon as we got back from Manuel Antonio, we packed up the surf boards to head to Este to get in our last surf of the trip. It was the girls' turn this time. The waves at Este are really long and slow so it's easy to catch them. I was even able to get up----with Kurt's help! It was a great way to end the trip.
Goodbye Costa Rica----until next time!
